John 8:21-27

New King James Version

Jesus Predicts His Departure

²¹ Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and ^(A)you will seek Me, and ^(B)will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”

²² So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?”

²³ And He said to them, ^(C)“You are from beneath; I am from above. ^(D)You are of this world; I am not of this world. ^24 (E)Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; ^(F)for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵ Then they said to Him, “Who are You?”

And Jesus said to them, “Just what I ^(G)have been saying to you from the beginning. ²⁶ I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but ^(H)He who sent Me is true; and ^(I)I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”

²⁷ They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.
